Escape from boredom

Today I have hang out with Kent, Loy, Alf, Espen and Simen. First I stopped by Loy who is making a potato cannon, so far it blows, but soon it will blow the potatoes far, far away http://glassx.googlepages.com/. Then we went to Espen , ate a lot of pizza, drank wine and flew his new mosquito helicopter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IKTfe5TBmY

Loy waiting for the blast

Simen behind the helicopter, only showing by its green light…

Kent was out on the balcony when he shouted to me “Rune, come here and see…” So I went out to see this big truck with a trailer mounted going in reverse the whole length of Haugerudhagan. I guess due to the construction of new houses at the end of the road the turn spot had no place for him to turn on.

The project started last year at Vestreng, cutting down trees to get back the cultural landscape from Gaya which tries her best to concur it back. So this year we have managed to finish one third of it, there is now an electrical fence around it where two horses have spent the last two months.

But, still two thirds left, the following pictures from last weekend showing the work being done and most important of all – how much work still left

First, me in the big 4WD towing Anders up the hill while he uses the backhoe loader to get rid of all the roots

[teaserbreak]

Still a lot more to be done before horses can walk here next year

Old, but still working

My friend Simen now has his own blog as well – keep the good things coming…

especially since I today found even Guns N’ Roses there….whooowowow sweeeet chiiiiild of miiiiiiiineeee…. http://www.myspace.com/gunsnroses I realize that everyone is there…

Also stumbled across Ted Nugent http://www.tednugent.com/ Totally crazy man, supporting National Rifle Association and such, but the song played when you enter his site is really good…

I also had to check out Thin Lizzy http://www.myspace.com/phillynott , problems there with the player so I was not able to listen to it, so instead I ended up with Metallica, the live version of Orion is really good http://www.myspace.com/metallica

Espen and I went down to Halden last Saturday to participate in the 100 km race “Femsjøen Rundt”. Espen said that he wanted nice weather since he was tired of cycling in the rain. He should not have said that, the weather was ok at the starting line, cold and a bit of rain, then later no rain, but the second half was bad, it rained almost more than Lillehammer – Oslo, if possible…We are not on the video below, but if you fast forward to the end, you will see the comment “To much rain to film from a cab…”

The results are here, but last time I checked Espen and I still was not on the list, due to trouble at the finish line. Anyhow, he used 2.44 and I 2.45 or so…
